OK, this makes sure all software defined for the used profile is 
actually installed.

OK, fine up to now.

I assume you uninstalled from the control panel.

OK, therefore WPKG was not run again. Of course Firefox remains 
uninstalled until next WPKG run which is entirely fine. Please tell me 
if I understand something incorrectly but up to here it looks like it 
does exactly what it is supposed to do.
You might now run wpkg.js /synchronize again or just reboot the machine 
and leave WPKG client doing the job. Then Firefox should re-run the 
checks (as execute="once" is not specified), notice that FF is not 
installed properly and re-install it.

Please report if this is working for you or be more precise what you expect.
